H. G. Carrillo (born Herman Glenn Carroll; April 26, 1960 – April 20, 2020) was an American fiction writer and academic. In the 1990s, he began writing as "H. G. Carrillo" and he eventually adopted that identity in his private life as well. Carroll constructed a false claim that he was a Cuban immigrant who had left Cuba with his family at the age of seven. In fact, he had no ties to Cuba. Carroll wrote frequently about the Cuban immigrant experience in the United States, including in his only novel, Loosing My Espanish (2004). He was an assistant professor of English at George Washington University from 2007 to 2013, and was later chair of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation. Carroll kept his true…

Recent Cuban Migration to the United States: Trends, Drivers, and Policy Responses. <div> From 2022 to 2024, over 642,000 Cubans—more than 6% of the island’s population—migrated to the United States, marking the largest Cuban exodus in modern history.

It traces the evolution of migration routes from maritime crossings to overland journeys through Central America and Mexico and examines the shifting demographics of Cuban migrants. Dra…

Latiné immigrant heterogeneity: Striking health differences among Cuban refugee/migration waves to the United States. Abstract Latiné people differ markedly in our lived experiences in ways that are underappreciated. Meanwhile, variations in social experiences are known to be associated with differential health outcomes. We test whether immigration history is associated with health differences among U.S.-based Cuban refugees. Cubans from the circum-1980 Mariel Boatlift migration wave reported significantly higher instance and severity of disability on average than Early Cuban Exiles (1959-1962), Freedom Flight refugees (1965-1973), and Special Period (1990-2002) refugees. In contrast, disab…

The following is a list of events of the year 2025 in the United States. Following his election victory in November 2024, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States and began his second, nonconsecutive term on January 20. The beginning of his term saw him extensively use executive orders and give increased authority to Elon Musk through the Department of Government Efficiency, leading to mass layoffs of the federal workforce and attempts to eliminate agencies such as USAID. These policies have drawn dozens of lawsuits that have challenged their legality. Trump's return to the presidency also saw the US increase enforcement against illegal immigration through the…

Special considerations are needed to provide appropriate medical treatment for refugee migrants to the United States, who often face extreme adversity, violent and/or traumatic experiences, and travel through perilous regions. Such considerations include screenings for communicable diseases, vaccinations, posttraumatic stress disorder, and depression. The United States has rigorous health screening guidelines for refugees and immigrants entering the country. The 1980 Federal Refugee Act enabled the US Public Health Service to facilitate health screenings for all immigrants and refugees before they depart their country of origin. The screening effort is overseen by the Office of Refugee Rese…

Illegal immigration, or unauthorized immigration, occurs when foreign nationals, known as aliens or non-citizens, violate US immigration laws by entering the United States unlawfully, or by lawfully entering but then remaining after the expiration of their visas, parole or temporary protected status. Between 2007 and 2018, visa overstays accounted for a larger share of the growth in the undocumented immigrant population of the United States than illegal border crossings, which declined considerably from 2000 to 2018. In 2022, 37% of unauthorized immigrants were from Mexico, the smallest share on record. El Salvador, India, Guatemala and Honduras were the next four largest countries. As of 2…
